A rare win for Kyle Freeland on Tuesday occurred and now the Rockies again find themselves in position for a series win in the desert.
Chris Flexen (1-6, 6.89 ERA) takes the mound for the Rockies to make his eighth start in purple. Flexen’s time with the Rockies hasn’t been the sharpest, but he has at least been a reliable innings eater. In each of his last six starts, Flexen has pitched at least five innings but has allowed at least three runs in all but one start. In his previous outing against the Toronto Blue Jays, Flexen went 5 2⁄3 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits, including three home runs.
